Brittany Mahomes Opens Up About Her 1-Year-Old Son's 'Scary' E.R. Visit

Brittany Mahomes is speaking out to raise awareness regarding severe food allergies in young children after her son was rushed to the hospital.

As you know, Brittany is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The couple exchanged vows in March 2022 during a private ceremony in Maui, Hawaii after dating for 10 years. Patrick and Brittany now share two children -- Sterling Skye Mahomes and Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III.

Last summer, the Mahomes' had to rush their one-year-old son, Bronze, to the emergency room after he had a "severe allergic reaction" to peanuts.

“We took a very scary and frantic trip to the ER yesterday after finding out this guy is highly, highly allergic to peanuts," she shared on her Instagram page at the time, adding, “The scariest 30 min of my life.”

Now, months after the scary incident, Brittany is opening up in an attempt to raise awareness about severe food allergies in young children to help others.

"Like all moms, my kids’ safety and happiness is my number one priority," Brittany wrote alongside a video of her and her children sitting on a couch. "I recently received an outpouring of support from other moms and parents after sharing my experience with Bronze’s severe allergic reaction to peanuts. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life."

Now, she is helping raise awareness and is partnering with AUVI-q, she announced on social media Wednesday.

"I’m so excited to be partnering with @auvi_q to help spread awareness about severe food allergies in young children and how to best respond. Talk to a pediatrician about how to be prepared and visit the link in my bio for more information!"

AUVI-q is an injection that can help treat allergic reactions in an emergency.

Learning about severe allergic reactions can be so important for parents, as 1 in 13 children are affected by food allergies.

“There’s twenty-five to thirty-five children in a classroom, that means two kids in every classroom are going to have a food allergy,” Jodi Shroba, nurse and coordinator of Children’s Mercy Food Allergy Program told KCTV.

Shroba added that "it's really important that [you] have a proper diagnosis [and] have proper education."

"Even those who don’t have a food allergy [need to] understand what a food allergy is and what might happen because they may be the person that is around when someone does have an allergic reaction," he continued.

Brittany and Patrick Mahomes welcomed their daughter, Sterling, in February 2021 and their son, Bronze, in November 2022.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are currently in the NFL playoffs as they get ready to face Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens this weekend. It is expected that Brittany Mahomes will be at the game to cheer on her husband.
